An injury plagued UF team played state d2 men’s champs Tampa Krewe in Tampa, and came out with a 11-0 victory. Several key players, including captain Neil Dupree and vice-captain Matias Groetaers were out with injuries, but the Gators prevailed. The first score was a dive for the corner by winger Josh Nicdao who ran onto a perfectly weighted pass by Jordan Manning. The following 6 points were from two penalty kicks, as Marcus Roche took over kicking duties from the injured Groetaers. The match was intensified by the roaring engines of the Blue Angels, as they preformed their aerobatics overhead during the Tampa / MacDill AFB Airshow. The B-side played a hard fought match against a much bigger opponent, losing 17-0.
The Gators next match will be against the University of Tennessee, and a victory will send the Gators to the sweet 16, which has been the teams goal for the season.
